When I began to play, my rhythms(节奏）were good, but my tone was another 3 . “Did you practice your lesson ” the teacher barked at me. I felt so 4 and my world came 5 down in an instant.
From then on, I hated playing the clarinet and I kept getting 6 . With the day of the new performance approaching, I grew increasingly upset. In a moment of 7 , I asked for sick leave. It was so relieving and such a(n) 8 way out.

She 10 and I realized I wanted to stay in band and, by not facing my fears, I had created a black hole that would be difficult to 11 out of. I made a 12 not to hide from my fears and to stand up to even the worst of them, so a 13 could be achieved.

18 , I’m glad that I overcame my fear. Fear can 19 everything in a person’s life. Hiding from those very fears only digs a hole, which makes a person stay 20 inside. After facing up to a fear, one may find life easier and much more enjoyable.

答案
1. D 根据“But as most students progressed, I seemed to fall behind.”可知,作者练习单簧管初始阶段一切顺利,但后来遇到困难。故D选项“smoothly”符合语境,为最佳选项。
2. A 根据“One day, when my teacher told us to play in front of the other students, I was filled with fear. I knew I would...”可以看出“我”内心充满恐惧,知道自己要演砸了。由此判断A项“mess up (搞砸)”符合题意。move on (to sth.)开始做（别的事），转换话题;set out出发，动身，启程；take off （飞机等) 起飞，(观念、产品等) 突然大受欢迎，迅速流行。
3. C 根据“my rhythms(节奏)were good, but my tone was another3”可知逗号前后的内容构成转折关系，意为“我的节奏很好,可是完全不在调上”，也就是说我的调是另一回事“another story”，因此C项正确。
4. A 根据本段中“‘Did you practice your lesson ’ the teacher barked at me.”的提示，可知A项“ashamed(羞愧)”符合语境。bark意为“厉声质问”。
5. A 根据第一段的其他内容及“‘Did you practice your lesson ’ the teacher barked at me.”可知作者因老师的大声责问而深感羞愧,从而情绪瞬间崩溃。故选A项“crashing(崩溃)”。
6. B 根据上文“From then on, I hated playing the clarinet”可知,作者从那时起,不再喜欢演奏单簧管,随即情况越来越糟。故选B项 “worse”。
7. B 根据“With the day of the new performance approaching, I grew increasingly upset.”可知作者由于演出将近,变得越来越慌乱,于是惊恐之中请了病假。因此B项“panic(惊恐)”符合语境。joy高兴,愉快,喜悦;doubt疑惑,疑问；sympathy同情，赞同，支持。
8. C 根据本句“It was so relieving and such a(n) 8 way out.”可知作者认为请病假是最简单的可以使他逃脱的方法。故C选项“easy”符合语境。relieving表示“令人宽慰的”。
9. C 根据下文“If you really want to quit, why are you crying ”可知当妈妈问他为什么请假时,他开始伤心落泪。故C项“flowing(流)”为最佳选项。
10. A 根据本句“...I realized I wanted to stay in band...”可知作者认可妈妈的想法，并意识到自己确实想留在乐队里,故A项“had a point(说对了)”符合语境。make a change做出改变；reach a level达到某一水平；take a break休息一下。
11. D 根据本句“...by not facing my fears, I had created a black hole that would be difficult to...”可知“that”引导的定语从句修饰的是“black hole”,故D项“climb(爬出)”符合语境。
12. B 根据本句“I made a 12 not to hide from my fears and to stand up to even the worst of them...”可知作者下定决心,不再躲开恐惧,要勇于面对最糟糕的情况。故B项“resolution(决心)”符合语境。request（正式或礼貌的）要求，请求; presentation授予,颁发，报告，（观点的）陈述，说明；proposal提议，建议。
13. D 根据上文的内容可以判断出此处表示“能找到解决问题的途径”，故D项“solution(解决方法)”符合语境。balance平衡; degree程度; position位置。
14. A 根据本句“The next day I met with my other band teacher and told her I was having a problem and I couldn?t 14 why.”可知作者第二天遇到了另一位乐队老师,告知了她自己遇到了问题，而且想不明白为什么会这样。故选A项“figure out(弄清楚，弄明白)”。give away赠送,捐赠，泄露,暴露;think over（尤指在做出决定前）仔细考虑，慎重思考; make up给……化妆，形成,构成，编造（故事、谎言等）。
15. D 根据本段第二句“She asked me gently to play for her.”可知，这位老师态度和蔼,没有对作者大喊,故选D项“shout(喊叫)”。
16. D 根据第一段中“the teacher barked at me”和第四段中“I was having a problem and couldn?t figure out why”可知,作者对换完单簧管簧片后,自己能够很好地演奏音乐而吃惊。故D项“surprise”符合语境。
17. C 根据文中“My problem was solved...”以及上文描写作者因为演奏不好音乐而产生恐惧的心理,可知作者最终解决了这一问题，消除了恐惧，故C项“removed”正确。
18. B 根据全篇可知,作者回顾过往,很开心最终克服了自身恐惧。故选B项“Looking back(回顾)”。
19. A 根据“Hiding from those very fears only digs a hole...”可知,作者领悟到恐惧会从方方面面消耗一个人。故选A项“consume(消耗)”。examine审查,考查，（仔细地）检查，检验; reflect反映,映出（影像），显示，表明,表达（事物的自然属性或人们的态度、情感等）; rescue营救，援救。
20. D 根据上文信息可知,作者通过这件事,最终理解如果一个人只是一味地躲避恐惧,就如同挖了一个坑,让自己困在其中。故选D项“trapped(被困住)”。

My discharge papers (出院证明) were finally signed and I waited 18 to get home. As I was wheeled out of the room, I said my final goodbye to the old man.

解析　根据设空前的句子可知“我”不介意与哥哥之间的紧张关系是因为“我”时常在学校,而设空句又提及“我”沉浸在音乐剧的世界,可知此句与上一句之间构成递进关系,应选择表递进、强调关系的短语in particular。in vain 徒劳无益;in return作为回报;in theory理论上。
7.C　解题指导　考查形容词。关注上下文逻辑关系。

知识链接　ceiling意为“天花板,上限,最高限度”。
12.B　解题指导　考查动词。关注上下文衔接。
解析　句意:这么多年以来这是第一次我哥哥在我回到家的时候感受到(experienced)安静。hate憎恨;accept接受;want想要。
13.C　解题指导　考查动词。关注上下文衔接。
解析　根据下文哥哥说的话:“当你的思绪飘走的时候,(那个快乐的)你就回来了。不要自责。”可知哥哥是建议作者和他一起冥想,把坏情绪放空,找回原本快乐自信的自己,C项符合语境。help帮助;invite邀请;admire欣赏,仰慕。
14.A　解题指导　考查副词。关注上下文衔接。

解析　根据生活常识可知,事情第一次没做对(right)是正常的。wrong错误的;back后面的;down情绪低落的。
19.C　解题指导　考查名词。关注前后句逻辑关系。
解析　句意:对我来说,重要的是要知道,你不必总是在第一次就把每件事做对,好的事情总是伴随着不断的努力(effort)而来。C项符合语境。luck运气;absence缺席;fear害怕。

分析:这是一个主从复合句。两个that引导的都是宾语从句,第二个that不可省略。
译文:对我来说,重要的是要知道,你不必总是在第一次就把每件事做对,好的事情总是伴随着不断的努力而来。

No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own 1 .
I learned this lesson from a(n) 2 many years ago. I took the head 3 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the 4 team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to 5 the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn't 6 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 7 that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were 8 me. I had to change my 9 about their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 10 . Most important, I began to treat them like 11 . That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their 12 , we met every day and 13 passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our 14 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 15 . Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 16 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 17 of my life!
From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 18 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 19 them. I helped them to see themselves 20 , and they built themselves into winners.
